Whoa! A view from the road.

The dumpster is g-o-n-e. The first 30-yd container arrived May 19... had hoped it would take only one, then knew it'd be at least two... then three, four... the answer was five 30-yd dumpsters. May 19 to Sept 23rd - 4 months, 5 days. The grass is really, really dead - move your foot through the... straw and everything comes up - no roots left, just topsoil... Nevertheless, I can stand on my porch, and see the street. Until tomorrow...

The PODS will return tomorrow. Hooray!

Also tomorrow, another drywall guy coming... I'm putting in an all-glass shower door for Jen; has wanted one for a long time... apparently though, with no frame, the hinges need two sistered studs, not one... who knew? Since the tile is in, we're cutting into the wall from the master bedroom side, adding a stud, then sealing it back up. Will need paint repair... Still, after all we've done, Jen still won't let me do the drywall patch... weird... Anyway, fully repaired this weekend - no worries...

This weekend because... drum-roll please... CARPETING ON MONDAY! It all arrived at the shop today, couldn't schedule for tomorrow, so will do both downstairs (family room only) and upstairs - hopefully in one day, maybe two.

On Tuesday, security company out to re-connect us... another milestone...

Going to be a busy few days. Also accomplished today, dishwasher in and re-connected, stove in but not yet reconnected. Family room cleaned-out and dust removed. Deck power-washed, driveway (paint overspray) started.

That's it... more tomorrow.
